SINGAPORE - Young people in Singapore are doing the right thing by standing up against racial insensitivity, said Minister for Education Ong Ye Kung on Saturday in his first public comments about a photo of a birthday celebration taken in 2016 which depicted Raffles Institution students with their faces painted black.
In the photo, they also pose with props such as a paper bag labelled"whitening kit", posters of the movie Slumdog Millionaire, and handfuls of cash. In his first public comments about the issue, Mr Ong said in a Facebook post:"I can see many of our students, of all races, having strong feelings about the matter.
Singapore, on the other hand, was founded as a multiracial country regardless of race, language or religion after it was thrust into independence in 1965.

Although mainly the richest, most educated people in the world are overwhelmingly to blame for inequality and climate change, they are not the ones who will suffer the most from it. We need to put more minority leaders in decision making positions. We should do that today.
Their verbal statement is always a classic approach. However, such events needs habitual culturism to campaign against racism at all level !
In my view, the Singapore government is always racially sensitive to all racial groups in Singapore. They are a good example to the world.
In classic PAP fashion, act blur and cover your ears. Ignore ignore, not happening, not happening. FYI, Singaporeans are the most racist people I know.
